Initiatives such as the Intervision international music contest are in demand in BRICS and across the globe, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said as he watched the show sitting in the audience.
Russia’s top diplomat praised the holding of the competition as a great idea:
"Originally, we wanted BRICS and their partners to take part, because #BRICS hold numerous cultural and humanitarian events and annual theater festivals, and there is a drama school competition, and the idea to establish a literature award, and a number of other issues that are in demand in BRICS, and, I am confident, globally. So, when we announced the contest to our partners and most of them gave a positive response almost immediately, and the news spread across the globe, countries distant from BRICS in geographical and organisational terms decided to send in their performers," he explained.
The Intervision international music contest has come to an end in Moscow, with Vietnam's representative Dyk Fuk emerging victorious. The event was memorable for a number of high-profile incidents, from Russian participant Shaman's voluntary withdrawal from the competition to the scandal involving pressure on the United States, and the announcement of the next show, which will be held in Saudi Arabia in 2026.
